The Allison Neale Quartet
Allison Neale (alto) Colin Oxley (guitar) Jeremy Brown (bass) Matt Fishwick (drums) Yalm Food Court Entry £13.50PURCHASE TICKETS |
American born altoist Allison Neale’s beautifully crafted lines evoke the spirit of Paul Desmond and Art Pepper with whom she has a particular affinity.
For this special project, altoist Allison Neale and guitarist Colin Oxley recreate the magical pairing of Paul Desmond, best known for his long-standing association with Dave Brubeck, and Jim Hall, guitarist with Sonny Rollins. Drawing from these influences, they explore their own unique musical partnership, while staying true to the nature of the original recordings, beautiful in their simplicity and elegance.
As a strong advocate of the melodic West Coast style she has performed alongside leading international artists such as Adelaide Hall and Bud Shank, US tenorist Scott Hamilton and more recently in collaboration with New York guitarist Peter Bernstein who appears on her critically acclaimed new CD ‘Quietly There’. I'm Glad There Is You and Darn That Dream are two tracks from the album that are available to sample online.. have a listen!

Resolution 88
Tom Smith (tenor sax) Tom O'Grady (fender rhodes) Tiago Coimbra (elec bass) Oli Blake (percussion) Ric Elsworth (drums) Yalm Food Court Entry £16.50PURCHASE TICKETS |
One of the UK’s leading exponents of funk jazz, Resolution 88's music is synonymous with the beautiful tones of the Fender Rhodes and fuses the sound of the modern London jazz scene with the inspirational greats of the 70’s such as Herbie Hancock’s Head Hunters and the classic Mizell Brothers productions. They've brought their high energy performances to a range of prestigious venues and festivals around the UK and Europe, including live shows supporting Snarky Puppy, Roy Ayers, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke, Larry Mizell & the Blackbyrds, Butcher Brown, the Yellowjackets and many more.
For their new album 'Vortex', bandleader and composer Tom O’Grady went all-out to recreate the sound world from his favourite Mizell Brothers productions and Herbie Hancock records; everything you hear on this album, from the Mellotron to the Echoplex, from the Oberheim 4 Voice to the glockenspiel - is the real thing.
The artwork was beautifully painted by Tokio Aoyama - inspired by the title track ‘Vortex’ - and as an homage to the works of other Japanese artists such as Nobuhiro Nakanishi who painted the cover of Herbie Hancock’s live album ‘Flood’.
